Here at First Steps it is everyone’s responsibility to keep our children safe. All children have the right to be kept safe and we will act appropriately if we have any concerns about a child.
Aim:
We are committed to safeguarding children, young people and vulnerable adults and will do this by putting young people and vulnerable adult’s right to be ‘strong, resilient and listened to’ at the heart of all our activities.
We follow ‘four commitments’ which are broad statements against which policies and procedures across the nurseries are drawn to provide a consistent and coherent strategy for safeguarding children young people and vulnerable adults. The four key commitments are:
